Arrest of a Supposed Forger. – For some
time past forgeries have been known to be committed in the
Paymaster's Department of the Confederate army in this city, the
operators being so cute as to baffle every attempt to bring them to
light, though the detectives of the Provost Marshal hammered away as
usual to unearth the unknown depredator — Yesterday a young man,
named William Robertson, otherwise called Harlings, who is suspected
of being one of the parties who committed the offences alluded to,
was accosted on Broad street by Detective Polk, who, on desiring the
young man to accompany him, was violently resisted. The contest
continued for some moments, when Robertson, finding that the officer
was getting the best of it, turned and fled in the direction of the
Powhatan House. He was making remarkably good time, undismayed by
two shots discharged in the rear at his person, and would probably
have made good his escape had not an artisan been turning the corner
of the Court-House with a piece of board on his back, which he had
the presence of mind to convert into a barricade, by which the
progress of the fugitive was arrested. Robertson was taken to Castle
Godwin. The grounds of his arrest, save the suspicion mentioned
above, we do not know.
